1- Build quality.
2- The Boyue has an E-Ink Carta while the Onyx has a pearl, but the onyx has a larger display. I can’t decide on that since I haven’t seen any of the screens.
3- Software implementation and speed.
Some side notes:
The Boyue has a 3000 mah battery while the Onyx has a 1700 mah battery.
On taobao (The Chinese eBay), they say that there are some updates to the T68 which fixes the lowest brightness settings (v1.63), fixes the touch (v1.65) and that v1.7 which will be released in April will upgrade the android to v4.4 from v4.0 which is supposed to increase the performance.
I will root the any of those devices once I get it, so the presence of the Google Play out of the box is not an issue.
I like the Kindle Voyage and I will not mind paying the premium price, It looks quite nice and those x-ray, time until chapter end features are quite nice, but I would prefer having an Android based reader.
So which of those devices would you recommend, or would you recommend another device all together or advise me to wait for another device that will be released in the near future. (I currently own a nook, the one without back light).
Thank you.

Just for completeness' sake, I'll mention that Onyx also offers the C67 ML, which is the same size as the Boyue T62 and seems to have fewer quality control issues than the T68 had (has?). However, having said that, I also agree that you'll do better with the Boyue T62 or T62+. In terms of performance, build quality, battery life, space for apps, and space for data, the T62 is way ahead of the T68.
If the T62+ does indeed have a Carta display, that makes it an even better choice.
